In March of 2009 my wife Roberta was diagnosed with a brain tumor AND Ed has been diagnosed with NLPHL, a rare form of Hodgkins Lymphoma. Roberta had GammaKnife treatment for her tumor and seems OK (Future MRI tests). Ed will have R-CHOP chemo for 5-6 months.

THIRD biopsy
I got a call from the oncologist on April 28th. The second biopsy apparently got a lot of material from the wrong place. The pathology report indicated that diagnosis was not possible and recommended surgically removing a node, which is now scheduled for May 15th. I'll go down on the 14th to meet the surgeon and anesthetist. My biggest impatience is that apparent Stage II will turn into Stage II or IV by the time I get the diagnosis! It really helps to make it real to read other people's blogs.
